Default Would you do it ? Straight trade : E46 M3.

I'm in a dillemma.

I have the opportunity to trade my car.

2003 350Z Performance with 15k. Bone stock. Mint. Superblack,

for

2002 M3, 52k, bone stock with OEM 18" . Titanium silver.


All that matter for me is resale value and fun factor.

Discuss.

Z, less expensive to maintain.

Being able to whip both the Z to me just seems more fun.

Is your car paid for? Would it be your DD? Can You afford the maint.? theres a lot of questions to ask yourself. Also is it worth trading your car in for an older car with higher mileage.

Seems like a lot of Z owners are jumping on the M3 wagon since the prices have come down a little bit. Especially in Southern California. Way more expensive to mod too.....

Good luck!

May I also say that I would do this trade in a heartbeat. I will be doing the same, only I'm looking at 10k difference not in my favor.

like everyone is saying can you afford to maintain the M3 i know it's alot of $$$ my dad just did his 03 M3 brakes and rotors with new rear tires $5000 out the door. so if you can swing that every so often then yes its a real fun ride to have

another oil change is about $120 every 4K Motul full syn.


Quick Reply: Would you do it ? Straight trade : E46 M3.
